His father Rao Abdul Jabbar, a middle-class peasant, is a well-known political worker of the locality. In 1977 he contested the provincial assembly polls as a candidate of the Jamiat-Ulamae Islam (JUI). Javed Nomani got his primary education from the local village school and later went to Sargodha High School. His normal studies were, however, discontinued when he shifted to Madressa-e-Arabia Islamia, Burewala, for religious education. He came to Karachi in 1977 to continue his studies in Jamia Uloom-e-Islamia, Binauri Town, where he was inducted in the struggle that was raging against the military dictatorship of General Ziaul Haque. As Zia cracked down harshly on the democratic forces, Maulana Nomani went into exile in Kabul. On his return in 1983, he was arrested at Karachi airport, from where the book takes the reader into his ordeal over the next three years. ****** I am pleased at your decision to present before the Pakistani nation and the world community an account of your experience of torture cells in a military dictatorship. In the last 9 years, hundreds of workers of the Pakistan Peoples' Party, as well as others committed to democracy, have been subjected to great torment. Your book gives a voice to their anguish and fulfils an urgent need of the people, political workers and parties. I pray for the success of your struggle for peace, freedom and prosperity of the country. - Benazir Bhutto Your book has rekindled memories of the historic struggle of the ulemas of the sub- continent. I am confident that the account of your struggle will be a source of inspiration for the workers of the Jamiat-e-Ulema Islam. Your crusade for righteousness and your fortitude are exemplary. - Maulana Fazlur Rehman Behind Bars - Javed Nomani; Copyright © www.sanipanhwar.com 1 Introduction It was late and I was preparing to call it a day. Outside my office at the department of Psychiatry I heard some loud voices and the rhythmic clatter of boots. Soon a number of uniformed men presented a handcuffed, bearded man. His clothes were clean but crumpled as compared to the over-starched attire of his guards. His shoulders were drooping and he barely moved. He looked at me as if I was standing miles away. I greeted him and offered a chair. He returned my greetings with a faint smile. It was this smile which revealed his age. He was a young man. After certain formalities I was alone with him. A good look at him and I knew. Or so I thought. His face was still emotionless and he complained of fever and body ache nothing else. Maulana Nomani was admitted in our ward. This encounter was one of many with political prisoners, who manage to reach us. Detailed interviews with them provided me with a little window through which I could see and feel the agony and inhuman and regarding treatment thousands of people are undergoing. Only because they dare to differ, to dissent or to agitate for change. Our clinical trains us to interact with a patient's symptoms to arrive at a diagnosis and prescribe a set of pills. The psychiatrist, through a mental state examination, may claim to be more appreciative of the feelings of the patient. However, even after Maulana Naumani's prolonged stay with us I did not know much about him. I was to learn much more, years after the Maulana's release and after reading his Urdu book Jo Mujh Par Guzri. His graphic description and a tremendous capacity to remember so many names and relate to their ordeals is remarkable. His drooping shoulders were carrying a heavier burden than I realized. The experience was an education for me. I used this new insight later, in the treatment of other prisoners of conscience specially, in the case of Rahila Tiwana, a student leader. Earlier, there, was no diagnostic category for such silent sufferers. Their symptoms would be labeled as malingering, hysteria and sometime, if generous, it could be termed Depressive Disorder. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a new diagnostic entity which the highly conservative medical profession has finally recognized. Though it is yet to be taught and popularized, this is a significant step forward because it facilitates the development of Behind Bars - Javed Nomani; Copyright © www.sanipanhwar.com 2 management techniques and long-term prognosis. The immediate wounds heal but the deeper scars in the personality, if unattended, remain raw for a long time. What has not yet been accepted by the medical profession, and less so by society, is the damage done by solitary confinement. In human beings, objective evidence of damage caused by sensory deprivation has been provided by EEG studies where decrease in the range of alpha waves have been demonstrated. Other physiological studies have revealed disturbance in the excretion of major neurotransmitters, the biochemical "switches" in the brain. The narration in Maulana Nomani's prison memoir has all the classically documented means of torture: torture through innovated means of beating, sensory deprivation (blindfolded for days and weeks, being moved from place to place without a clue, deprivation of light, noise or social contact), prolonged sleep deprivation and excessive and constant light, sexual assault, including rape in lockup and special torture cells, iron bar fetters of varying sizes and weights, chain across mouth and forced milk enema to hunger striker etc. etc. Such acts of torture are ascribed in this book to hundreds of individuals identified by their names and their "crimes" with great authenticity. The availability of narcotics to the obliging prisoners and hardship to those who cannot meet the demands of their captors is well-known in our prisons and the evidence provided was never contradicted. The humiliation and the breaking of the spirit of strong and dedicated youths are the most painful aspects of the written and unwritten codes practiced in our prisons. Behind Bar (Jo Mujh Par Guzri) is incontrovertible testimony to the brutality of the prison system. The radical and humane changes in the Jail Manual is much too overdue. The decision to translate Maulana Nawnani's book into English goes back to 23 November 1989 when Dr. Inge Kemp Genefke, from (International Rehabilitation and Research Centre for Torture) Copenhagen was visiting Pakistan. She was at our place in the evening along with Dr. Mehboob Mehdi of Voice Against Torture and Dr. M. Arif of Pakistan Association for Mental Health. Rafiq Safi and his wife Nausheen also dropped in (Rafiq Safi Munshi features prominently in the Maulana's book). It was after dinner that Dr. Ginefke asked for a copy of Maulana Nomani's book. But it was in Urdu. That evening we toyed with the idea of getting this book translated. The idea was given an impetus in December 1992 when Dr. Fisher from the British Medical Association attended the Bienniale Conference of the Pakistan Medical Association in Karachi. She presented me with a remarkable book "Medicine Betrayed" Published by the British Medical Association. This book is an authoritative and informative resource material an torture and the involvement of physicians the world over. It includes recommendations for medical Behind Bars - Javed Nomani; Copyright © www.sanipanhwar.com 3 care of prisoners, treatment of hunger strikers, strengthening of medical ethics, doctors and the death penalty, whipping or amputation and for the doctors working in the Armed Forces. The Bienniale Conference also reminded us of a resolution of the Pakistan Medical Association, we steered, way back in 1983. It reads: "The PMA, Karachi, is extremely disturbed at the continued use of corporal punishment of flogging. This is not only inhuman and against the dignity of man, but this can cause physical damage and irreversible psychological trauma, especially in young people. It is known that such punishment may activate latent diseases like tuberculosis and precipitate cardiovascular accidents beside permanently damaging the personality of the victim. We call upon the Government not to involve the medical profession in the process of flogging and stop such punishment on humanitarian and medical grounds." By this time the medical group of Amnesty International was also functioning actively. Another group has set up an organization called Pakistan Physicians for Prevention of Nuclear War. It is satisfying to note that the medical profession is getting more conscious of its social responsibilities. I am grateful to Mr. Imran Aslam for his excellent and free translation, capturing the spirit of the original text in Urdu. It also has the approval of Maulana Nomani. Prof. S. Haroon Ahmed, M.D. President Pakistan Association for Mental Health September 12, 1993 Behind Bars - Javed Nomani; Copyright © www.sanipanhwar.com 4 Translator's Note Javed Nomani's book "Jo Mujh Par Guzri" opened up chapters of my mind that I had closed, more in shame than in fear. My own encounter with the brutal instruments of state coercion now lie buried in the debris of the unwritten history of the struggle in Balochistan. Perhaps, one day I will have the courage and the perspective to relive the horror and degradation of dark cells, sensory deprivation and physical torture. Nomani's work allowed me to exorcise many ghosts.

  • Who Is a Muslim?
    4 / Martyr/Mujāhid: Muslim Origins and the Modern Urdu Novel There are two ways to continue the story of the making of a modern lit- er a ture in Urdu a fter the reformist moment of the late nineteenth c entury. The better- known way is to celebrate a rupture from the reformists by writing a history of the All- India Progressive Writer’s Movement (AIPWA), a Bloomsbury- inspired collective that had a tremendous impact on the course of Urdu prose writing. And to be fair, if any single moment DISTRIBUTION— in the modern history of Urdu “lit er a ture” has been able to claim a global circulation (however limited) or express worldly aspirations, it is the well- known moment of the Progressives from within which the stark, rebel voices of Saadat Hasan Manto and Faiz Ahmad Faiz emerged. Founded in 1935–6, the AIPWA was best known for its near revolutionary goals: FOR the desire to create a “new lit er a ture,” which stood directly against the “poetical fancies,” religious orthodoxies, and “love romances with which our periodicals are flooded.”1 Despite its claim to represent all of India, AIPWA was led by a number of Urdu writers— Sajjad Zaheer, Ahmad Ali, among them— who continued, even in the years following Partition in 1947, to have a “disproportionate influence” on the workings and agenda —NOT of the movement.2 The historical and aesthetic successes of the movement, particularly with re spect to Urdu, have gained significant attention from a variety of scholars, including Carlo Coppola, Neetu Khanna, Aamir Mufti, and Geeta Patel, though admittedly more work remains to be done.

  • Sindh Is One of the Ancient Regions of the World. It Now Forms Integral Part of Pakistan. ―Sindh Or Indus Valley Proper Is
    Grassroots Vol.50, No.II July-December 2016 A GLIMPSE IN TO THE CONDITIONS OF SINDH BEFORE ARAB CONQUEST Farzana Solangi Muhammad Ali Laghari Nasrullah Kabooro ABSTRACT Ancient history of Sindh dates back to Bronze age civilization, popularly known as Indus valley civilization, which speaks of glorious past of Sindh. Sindh was a vast country before the invasion of Arabs. King was the administrative head in the political setup of the country. Next in power to the king was the minister who exercised great influence over the monarch. King was also the commander of his army. Though king acted as the supreme judge of the country, yet he followed systematic manner in dispensing the justice. The society was divided into two broad classes. The sophisticated upper class consisted of ruling rich and their poets and priests. The lower class consisting of peasants, weavers, tanners, carpenter smiths and itinerant trades men. Family system was patriarchal; women enjoyed a high position in patriarchal society who had liberty to choose their mate. Sindh was a prosperous and fertile country, with flourishing trade. Sindh was abode of various religious groups and sects before the advent of Arabs. On the eve of Arab conquest of Sindh there was rivalry between Hinduism & Buddhism. People of Sindh being unsatisfied by the rule of Brahmans came into contact with Arab invaders and helped them to succeed Brahmans. ____________________ Keywords: Sindh, History, Religions and Social Conditions. INTRODUCTION Sindh is one of the ancient regions of the world. It now forms integral part of Pakistan. ―Sindh or Indus valley proper is a land of great antiquity and claims a civilization anterior in time to that of Egypt and Babylon‖ (Pathan, 1978:46).

The present Supplement deals with four hundred and twenty-five Manuscripts acquired by the Museum during the last twelve years, namely from 1883, the year in which the third and last volume of the Persian Catalogue was published, to the last quarter of the present year. For more than a half of these accessions, namely, two hundred and forty volumes, the Museum is indebted to the agency of Mr. Sidney J. A. Churchill, late Persian Secretary to Her Majesty's Legation at Teheran, who during eleven years, from 1884 to 1894, applied himself with unflagging zeal to the self-imposed duty of enriching the National Library with rare Oriental MSS. and with the almost equally rare productions of the printing press of Persia. By his intimate acquaintance with the language and literature of that country, with the character of its inhabitants, and with some of its statesmen and scholars, Mr. Churchill was eminently qualified for that task, and he availed himself with brilliant success of his exceptional opportunities. His first contribution was a fine illuminated copy of the Zafar Namah, or rhymed chronicle, of Hamdullah Mustaufi (no.
